The tattoo on the one on the left really looks like a tattoo of her own face. I’m not big on tattoos of faces in general, so that’s a little strange for me. It could be her mom or sister or something, I guess.
The one on the right has the same tattoo. I certainly wouldn’t get a tattoo of someone whose job I took, whether they were fired because of racist fans, or they had poor job performance, or… Anything, really.
Who is “they”?
One lonely racist with an image generator?
Fake outrage, Rockstar didn’t make a change, one loser fan did this edit because he is racist.
Nobody said they did? Racists are mad about there is many just search on X, Facebook or even parts of reddit and changed it themselves saying this is better and not “woke” nobody ever claimed rockstar changed did so where is the “fake” outrage.
Without knowing any of the context, I assumed “they” meant the game developers. It’s definitely open to interpretation that way.
Okay I guess not really though i dont think but apparently with your upvotes it can be it just literally says “fans” disliked it so much they decided to change it. Seems to me to be clearly centering these “fans” as the plural group acting. Apparently not though.
I don’t know why anyone trusts anyone or anything that still posts on Twitter in 2026…
I don’t know how to find a place where I don’t have to be exposed to the shit they produce over there.
I don’t know if people are reading this correctly.
Rockstar did not change the race of the cover-girl. It was the racist ‘fans’ who fed the image through AI and gave her the Michael Jackson experience.
A lot of people getting angry at a company that (in this very specific case) did nothing wrong.
“A few weirdos on the Internet used Photoshop, so now we’re ragebaiting it for engagement to make a few pennies on X.”
No racism is not okay and it was more than a few i still lurk on reddit and the “gamergate” crowd hate the original and claim the game has gone “woke” so there is actual racism to be confronted.
Feels a bit of a weird take… One of the most liked, shared etc video game trailers of all time which is also the least white but because some percentage of people are goofs, gamers as a whole are evil?
It’d be like saying all the fediverse is tankie crazies because .ml exists.
I get we like our pitchforks and any attempt to villainize folks but this feels pretty thin.
The “discovery of the number 0” thing always bugs me because obviously no one needed to discover the number zero as it’s used to express “I own zero goats”.
The important discovery was the use of 0 as a placeholder in a column indicating no value, when writing the number 10 for example. Basically it’s the discovery of a positional numeric system where the position / column of the digits means something.
The distinction between the concept of “nothing” as general concept, and “nothing” as a numerical value is non-trivial. And like, a mathematical proof that outlines that numerical concept of “nothing” is important.
Original is better
I mean both look, how can i say this, extremely thirst trappy but the face is much better on the original. Also my brain is strange(and also its very hard to talk about this because it involves skin colour) so for me general european/north american white skin is kinda neutral but the edited picture has her at like finnish level whiteness which kinda can work as a plus point. But this is ignoring how fucking deranged this is.
The original post seems like pure bait to me.
After the Campaign Evolved shit that turned out to be a genuine ragehead and not bait, I really cant tell the difference anymore.
You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore!
Direct quote by US Vice President JD Vance, 2025.
Racists feel like it’s OK to be openly racist again. They see people angry at their racism as oppressors.
Not surprised at all about this cover, though I am surprised Rockstar apparently went so far as to change it.
Hmmm looked around a bit online and I couldn’t find this edited image or any comment about Rockstar changing the cover art from the left to the right. I’m wondering if this is even real, or am I missing a joke? If it is real it’s silly but if it’s not it’s just fake outrage.
The post says that fans made the change, likely meaning this is hard to find
So, in other words, possibly one person did this and now we all should be bigly mad about it?
It’s a moral panic.
Look at gamergate forums or on x and they are thousands of people mad about rockstar going “woke” so no its not a “moral panic”. Hate people in this thread pretending racism doesn’t exist because their bubbles are successfully purged of it that’s good but the racism is still there and say your low tech friend who games causally and uses x or facebook or reddit will see it.
You see, it’s actually about ethics in games journalism.
Fuck racism. But why the fuck are you posting a piece of shit produced by some scum denying the right to live to a group of people based on their hobby?

This is humorous post. This is not to be taken seriously

Gamers usually doesn’t just mean someone that likes to play video games, but the specific toxic subset. At least that how most people use in my experience
